It is every sushi master's dream to visit the Tsukiji Market. It is not just a trading floor, but a true global legend. Here, the quality of the world's best sushi is determined every day. Millions of kilograms of fresh fish pass through its counters daily, heading to the most famous kitchens on the planet. Let’s explore the history of this unique place and understand how it forever influenced the culture of sushi consumption.
A Century of History: from Edo to a Global Hub The history of Tsukiji began in the 17th century as a modest fish market in the city of Edo. After the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, the market was completely rebuilt, becoming a vital symbol of the Japanese capital's revival. Tsukiji quickly grew into the world's largest wholesale fish market. The famous morning tuna auctions became a global landmark. Key milestones of Tsukiji history:
17th Century: Foundation of the first fish market in the Edo district.
1923: Large-scale reconstruction and establishment as a major commercial center.
2018: Relocation of the wholesale market to a new site — Toyosu.
Strict standards of japanese quality Tsukiji has always been governed by the strictest selection rules. Only flawless fresh fish made it to the counters. Experienced masters evaluated the freshness, color, and texture of the meat—a sacred ritual for every chef. These standards formed the basis of the global perception of sushi and defined true Japanese quality. Our popular Philadelphia Mini and Geisha rolls are crafted from selected ingredients. We have fully embraced the great spirit of the Tsukiji market, deeply valuing the freshness and impeccable taste of seafood.
Moving to Toyosu: the beginning of a New Era In 2018, the main wholesale part of the market moved to Toyosu, a modern complex with cutting-edge technology. However, it fully preserved the centuries-old traditions of strict quality control. The Tsukiji Outer Market remains open, offering guests the freshest products and a unique atmosphere to taste authentic Japanese delicacies. Signs of Quality Fish for Sushi:
